With the first hurricane of 2024 now named (already ~90mph winds) and an intense season forecasted, we will once again see the magic of what the power industry can do when it comes together. Everything from mutual aid to sharing of equipment to contract engineers and linemen traveling across the country to lend a hand. We are excited to be part of this magic and bring back this initiative we piloted last year. During emergencies, emergency access users with full functionality can be added without consuming a license and therefore no cost. #PowerView continues to be used to visualize and track efforts before, during, and after storms with all information in one spot with live reporting. Given that Power-View provides a centralized timeline for all pictures, asset bill of materials, forms, and statuses it is able to support requirements for receiving FEMA reimbursements. #hurricaneseason #restoration #powergrid https://lnkd.in/g6k-dR-Y
As hurricane season intensifies and the heat rises, make sure your team is equipped to face any challenge with the Power-View Emergency Access Kit (PEAK). In the event of an emergency, #PowerView users can now quickly grant temporary access to additional users without extra costs, as long as their access does not exceed two weeks per year. Stay prepared, stay resilient, and confidently manage emergencies with PEAK. Learn More Here: https://lnkd.in/eDXxxSw
